Lumbar osteophyte formation is a protective compensatory physiological response of the human body. In general, patients with lumbar osteophyte formation who have no obvious pathological symptoms do not need special treatment. However, when lumbar osteophyte formation compresses the spinal nervous system, it needs special attention. In particularly severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the bone spurs. Symptoms of lumbar osteophyte formation usually manifest as lower back pain, which radiates down one side of the buttocks to the leg. Symptoms often worsen in cold or damp weather. Some may experience numbness, pain, weakness, muscle atrophy, or abnormal skin sensation in the lower limbs. In severe cases, lumbar osteophyte formation may cause limping or even disability.
In general, the main treatments for lumbar osteophyte formation include medication, massage therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapy. However, these methods can only alleviate pain or promote blood circulation to supply nutrients and slow down the progression of the disease, but they cannot fundamentally cure lumbar osteophyte formation.
